BMI is Ready to Rock Lollapalooza’s 25th Anniversary in Chicago

Lollapalooza 2016 is fast approaching and BMI is thrilled to announce an eclectic lineup of some of today’s rising stars for its annual BMI/Lollapalooza stage. From July 28- 31, beginning at 1:00 PM, festivalgoers can check out 24 of BMI’s most promising bands and songwriters from its roster of over 700,000 affiliates.

This year’s Lollapalooza roster boasts a diverse selection of musical acts ranging from the R&B/pop grooves of SoMo and the psychedelic sounds of Sunflower Bean; to `80s-inspired pop duo Secret Weapons and the boundary-pushing hip-hop trio Flatbush ZOMBiES.

“For the 11th year in a row, the BMI stage is the place to see the hottest artists before they break big,” said Samantha Cox, BMI Assistant Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations. “Whether it’s Lady Gaga in 2008 or Halsey in 2015, BMI brings the best new musical talent to the Lollapalooza audience first. This year is no exception with incredible artists like Secret Weapons, LANco, and Flatbush ZOMBiES, cementing BMI’s reputation for presenting the artists today that everyone will be talking about tomorrow.”
